Apocalipsis 4
Nueva Biblia de las Américas
Visión del trono de Dios
4 Después de esto miré(A), y vi una puerta abierta en el cielo(B). Y la primera voz que yo había oído, como sonido de trompeta(C) que hablaba conmigo, decía: «Sube(D) acá y te mostraré las cosas que deben suceder después de estas(E)». 2 Al instante estaba yo en el Espíritu(F), y vi un trono colocado en el cielo(G), y a Uno sentado en el trono(H). 3 El que estaba sentado era de aspecto semejante a una piedra de jaspe(I) y sardio[a](J), y alrededor del trono había un arco iris[b](K), de aspecto semejante a la esmeralda(L). 4 Y alrededor del trono(M) había veinticuatro tronos(N). Y sentados(O) en los tronos, veinticuatro ancianos(P) vestidos de ropas blancas(Q), con coronas de oro en la cabeza(R). 5 Del trono salían relámpagos(S), voces[c], y truenos. Delante del trono había siete lámparas(T) de fuego ardiendo, que son los siete Espíritus de Dios(U).
6 Delante del trono había como un mar transparente semejante al cristal(V); y en medio del trono y alrededor del trono(W), cuatro seres vivientes(X) llenos de ojos por delante y por detrás(Y). 7 El primer ser viviente era semejante a un león; el segundo ser era semejante a un becerro; el tercer ser tenía el rostro como el de un hombre, y el cuarto ser era semejante a un águila volando(Z). 8 Los cuatro seres vivientes(AA), cada uno de ellos con[d] seis alas(AB), estaban llenos de ojos alrededor y por dentro(AC), y día y noche(AD) no cesaban de decir[e]:
«Santo, Santo, Santo es el Señor(AE) Dios, el Todopoderoso(AF), el que era, el que es y el que ha de venir(AG)».
9 Y cada vez que[f] los seres vivientes dan gloria, honor, y acción de gracias a Aquel que está sentado en el trono(AH), al que vive por los siglos de los siglos(AI), 10 los veinticuatro ancianos(AJ) se postran[g] delante de Aquel(AK) que está sentado en el trono(AL), y adoran[h] a Aquel que vive por los siglos de los siglos(AM), y echan[i] sus coronas delante del trono(AN), diciendo:
11 «Digno eres, Señor y Dios nuestro, de recibir la gloria y el honor y el poder(AO), porque Tú creaste todas las cosas(AP), y por Tu voluntad existen[j] y fueron creadas».
Revelation 4
Common English Bible
John sees God’s heavenly throne
4 After this I looked and there was a door that had been opened in heaven. The first voice that I had heard, which sounded like a trumpet, said to me, “Come up here, and I will show you what must take place after this.” 2 At once I was in a Spirit-inspired trance and I saw a throne in heaven, and someone was seated on the throne. 3 The one seated there looked like jasper and carnelian, and surrounding the throne was a rainbow that looked like an emerald. 4 Twenty-four thrones, with twenty-four elders seated upon them, surrounded the throne. The elders were dressed in white clothing and had gold crowns on their heads. 5 From the throne came lightning, voices, and thunder. In front of the throne were seven flaming torches, which are the seven spirits of God. 6 Something like a glass sea, like crystal, was in front of the throne.
In the center, by the throne, were four living creatures encircling the throne. These creatures were covered with eyes on the front and on the back. 7 The first living creature was like a lion. The second living creature was like an ox. The third living creature had a face like a human being. And the fourth living creature was like an eagle in flight. 8 Each of the four living creatures had six wings, and each was covered all around and on the inside with eyes. They never rest day or night, but keep on saying,
“Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God Almighty,
who was and is and is coming.”
9 Whenever the living creatures give glory, honor, and thanks to the one seated on the throne, who lives forever and always, 10 the twenty-four elders fall before the one seated on the throne. They worship the one who lives forever and always. They throw down their crowns before the throne and say,
11 “You are worthy, our Lord and God,
to receive glory and honor and power,
because you created all things.
It is by your will that they existed and were created.”
Revelation 4
English Standard Version
The Throne in Heaven
4 After this I looked, and behold, a door standing open in heaven! And the first voice, which I had heard speaking to me (A)like a trumpet, said, (B)“Come up here, and (C)I will show you what must take place after this.” 2 At once (D)I was in the Spirit, and behold, (E)a throne stood in heaven, with one seated on the throne. 3 And he who sat there had the appearance of (F)jasper and carnelian, and around the throne was (G)a rainbow that had the appearance of an emerald. 4 Around the throne were (H)twenty-four thrones, and seated on the thrones were twenty-four elders, (I)clothed in white garments, with (J)golden crowns on their heads. 5 From the throne came (K)flashes of lightning, and rumblings[a] and peals of thunder, and before the throne were burning (L)seven torches of fire, (M)which are the seven spirits of God, 6 and before the throne there was (N)as it were a sea of glass, like crystal.
And around the throne, on each side of the throne, are (O)four living creatures, (P)full of eyes in front and behind: 7 (Q)the first living creature like a lion, the second living creature like an ox, the third living creature with the face of a man, and the fourth living creature like an eagle in flight. 8 And the four living creatures, (R)each of them with six wings, are (S)full of eyes all around and within, and (T)day and night they never cease to say,
9 And whenever the living creatures give glory and honor and thanks to him who is seated on the throne, (W)who lives forever and ever, 10 the twenty-four elders (X)fall down before him who is seated on the throne and worship him who lives forever and ever. They cast (Y)their crowns before the throne, saying,
11 (Z)“Worthy are you, our Lord and God,
to receive glory and honor and power,
for (AA)you created all things,
and (AB)by your will they existed and were created.”
